The Sidemen are reportedly taking center stage. According to Deadline, the digital supergroup will headline a YouTube Red series called The Sidemen Show, which will feature challenges, camaraderie, and celebrity cameos.
Led by a septet of young, influential creators, The Sidemen are one of YouTube’s top acts. Individual members KSI, Vikkstar123, Zerkaa, Behzinga, Miniminter, TBJZL, and Wroetoshaw all have millions of subscribers on their respective YouTube channels, and their collaborative videos regularly reel in millions of views apiece. Among other ventures, The Sidemen have matched up against teams of all-star YouTubers in a pair of charity soccer matches, with a third on the way next month.
The Sidemen Show will reportedly feature musician Nicole Scherzinger, survivalist Bear Grylls, and comedian Jack Whitehall among its cast. Whitehall is himself set to lead a YouTube-distributed series of his own, which will feature soccer stars and YouTube standouts as its guests.
